This is a listing uses of the Dyson sphere concept in popular fiction. Most fictional works depict the ''Dyson shell'' variant. Unless otherwise noted, that is the type of Dyson sphere in the instances below. ==Television== *The ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' episode "Relics" - The crew of the USS ''Enterprise''-D happens upon a full Dyson sphere while investigating a ship in distress. Upon coming to a complete stop they are rocked by the sphere's immense gravitational force. Demonstrating more advanced technology than the Federation, the sphere's automatic systems pulled the ship through a door-equipped portal into the structure, revealing the majority of the shell inside was covered with habitable regions and included weather. Lieutenant Commander Data stated that the inside surface area was equal to "250 million class-M worlds." As the diameter of the sphere is given as being 200 million kilometers or two thirds Earth's orbit around the sun this would indicate that the surface area of one "M-class world" is in fact equivalent to Earth's surface area. About "Relics", Dyson said: "Actually it was sort of fun to watch it. It's all nonsense, but it's quite a good piece of cinema."〔(Interview on www.meaningoflife.tv )〕 *Gene Roddenberry's ''Andromeda'' — the episodes "Its Hour Come Round At Last" and "The Widening Gyre" — The Magog Worldship. Several planetary objects with cave systems, physically locked in close proximity to a small sun, somewhat like the Dyson net variant of the Dyson sphere. *In ''Crest of the Stars'', the capital of the Humankind Empire Abh, Lakfakale, contains and is likely powered by a Dyson Swarm. * The ''Mighty Orbots'', Shadow Star employed by Umbra and its minions was depicted very much as transitional form of a solid shelled Dyson Sphere, though it was shown as having gaps and voids through which some measure of light escaped into outer space. It appeared to be a large planet with some parts of its surface torn away and others still connected in a rough analog Earth's own continental plates. *In the ''Futurama'' episode "Decision 3012", President Nixon builds a "Dyson fence" on the southern border of the solar system to keep out illegal immigrants. *The anime series ''Valvrave the Liberator'' is set in a distant future where 70% of human population lives in "space cities", large hexagonal structures nested on the surface of Dyson spheres, each having an artificial sun on its center. *In the anime series "Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal", one of the "Number" cards is Number 9: Dyson Sphere. When played, it is depicted as a colossal structure big enough to block out the sun. *The HBO Series ''Game of Thrones'' introduction depicts the world map set on the inside of a Dyson Sphere. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dyson spheres in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
